<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 3269370, member: 85693&quot;]I like those big ol&#039; Charles II crowns of yours, <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/jamesicus.14873/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/jamesicus.14873/">jamesicus.</a>&nbsp; Over the years I&#039;ve accumulated a few and the 1662 with rose does seem to be the one that comes up the most - they must&#039;ve minted a lot of them.&nbsp; I&#039;ve also heard the north of England/Wales source of silver (indicated by the rose).&nbsp; I seem to recall reading that a lot of the silver for these crowns came from melted down French ecus obtained from some payment or another - apologies for the English Civil War perhaps? </p><p><br /></p><p>A while back I got this very humble example from 1673 - I rather like engraved/jewelry pieces - and they are usually bargains:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]862004[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
